Anybody who's seen the security cam footage of the Minneapolis Metrodome <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_uscBJn0p0">roof collapse</a> knows how powerful snow can be. It was amazing footage, something that rarely gets captured on camera. But in the age of the mobile phone camera, amazing videos are becoming less rare, as this video clearly illustrates.<br />
<br />
The driver-turned amateur videographer was cruising down the road when a semi truck saddled with several cubic yards of snow atop the cargo box caught his or her eye. In spite of the inherent danger of driving while videotaping, the motorist couldn't resist snagging some footage of the oddly tall snow snack. Lucky for us that moment was precisely when an overpass morphed a bad idea (distracted driving sucks) into some amazing footage. As you can see from the screen cap above, the overpass won the battle, but the exploding snow makes the video worth watching. <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/02/09/video-semi-truck-overpass-snowpocalypse-on-the-interstate/#continued">Hit the jump</a> to see for yourself.<br />
